I never did update, but I decided to accept the offer to extend at work. I figure I've got another year or two before the company decides to cut their losses and shut down the whole building. Or, you know, the call centre portion. The warehouse is still the main distribution centre for all of Canada, so I don't figure they'll be able to shut that ( Read more... )

My lead booked me off on the 18th! I'll get a long weekend this weekend, though I'll have to work six days in a row afterwards to make up for it. So, Friday night I will be heading out to Marmora after work to do some laundry and things. Leanna works Saturday, so I'm not gonna head out til Saturday night. A lady from work (also Jen and Pam's aunt, ( Read more... )

Looking back on the past month, I haven't really done much. I mean, yeah, there was work and the gym and going home to my parents. My second nephew turned a year old. I cut my hair, got my new glasses. But other than that not much has happened. Life moves on the same as it ever has and I become ever more frustrated at work. It's not even like I don ( Read more... )

So, my car broke down last night. Or kind of last night, if it weren't almost two o'clock in the morning. Lets say Monday night instead. My car broke down on Monday night and I was stuck on the side of the road for over an hour while I waited for my dad and Uncle Rod to come get me. It just started smoking pretty much out of nowhere. Something to ( Read more... )

Man, I'm exhausted. And I've only really been up for four hours. Three of those four hours were spent cleaning my filthy, filthy car. And not even a thorough job, either. Our vacuum is crap. I need one of those super industrial ones that gets into all the little nooks and crannies and sucks up all the grime. Anyway, the windows are squeaky clean, ( Read more... )

I'm an aunt again! No idea what the new baby's name is. I think it was down to Liam and Isaac last time I talked to them. Also, there's some family drama going down in that Mike and Cagney apparently don't want me and Liz at the hospital and so mom pretty much refuses to visit too. And we're not allowed to visit when they bring him home. IDK. And ( Read more... )

Just got home from Toni's half an hour ago. Showered, too. We walked over to McDonald's for dinner and then played Fable 3. Or, Toni played Fable and I watched. But that's almost as fun! Toni's okay doing all the evil things I can't bring myself to do. Like the slaughtering of innocents and farting in peoples faces. Fun times were had.

Driving home ( Read more... )

Leanna was at her parents for a funeral, so I went and stay there Saturday night and we had a good visit, even though Leanna did make me sit through an episode of Project Runway. I got to meet her room mates, Leanna's cousin and her wife. Awesome ladies. They're hilarious. I've got an open invitation to visit and Leanna's going to be back for ( Read more... )

I was supposed to practice driving all this weekend, but yesterday ended up super busy and I'm not allowed to drive after dark. Today dad's taken the van and his car over to my mechanic cousin to get some things fixed. It's after three already and I haven't seen him. And I still can't parallel park. No one else seems to really care, but I'm ( Read more... )

Last weeks cold is still lingering, but I'm mostly back to normal. I ended up taking two sick days and I think my lead was relieved not to have to find me something to do, because company sales are still way down and we're getting hardly any work coming through. It was bad enough we were doing overflow tasks for other teams. I did a couple credit ( Read more... )
